In 2012, the cause of beatification and canonization for Fr. Candido Amantini, a Passionist priest who served as the exorcist for the diocese of Rome for 36 years at the Scala Santa, was taken up in Rome. His most famous disciple (who is considered to be his successor), 87 year old Don Gabriele Amorth, wanted to participate in the opening ceremony of the process. The Pauline priest, who recently published the book, The Last Exorcist, wished to remember the Passionist Father and told us about the time when the devil spoke to his teacher about Hell.http://www.aleteia.org/en/religion/aggregated-content/interview-with-don-gabriele-amorth-5897313545355264

(9June2014)History teaches that our own powers do not suffice,” the Pope said during introductory remarks at the prayer summit in the Vatican Gardens. “More than once we have been on the verge of peace, but the evil one, employing a variety of means, has succeeded in blocking it. That is why we are here, because we know and we believe that we need the help of God. We do not renounce our responsibilities, but we do call upon God in an act of supreme responsibility before our consciences and before our peoples.”http://www.aleteia.org/en/world/aggregated-content/who-is-blocking-mideast-peace-satan-says-pope-5242336502087680

----------(9Aug2014)What advice did Fr. Candido give you?-He gave me a lot of advice, especially in the final two years of his life. The most important? To be a man of faith and prayer and always to ask the intercession of Mary Most Holy. And then always to be humble, because an exorcist has to know that he isn’t worth a quid without God. It’s the Lord that makes the exorcism work. If he doesn’t intervene, the exorcism isn’t worth anything.(P.Amorth)http://www.aleteia.org/en/religion/aggregated-content/interview-with-don-gabriele-amorth-5897313545355264
